This Arnold Schwarzenegger prank involved the Terminator star and former Governor of California going undercover at a Gold’s Gym. Even though Schwarzenegger was outfitted in a wig, hat and a totally unconvincing moustache, the real tell was his incredibly distinct voice. At the gym, Schwarzenegger gives workout tips, checks out muscles and has several people remark that he seems awfully familiar.
Schwarzenegger took part in this fun stunt to bring awareness to the After-School All-Stars program, which focuses on mentoring, tutoring and activities for kids from low-income families. Donors who give at least $10 to After-School All-Stars through Omaze.com will be entered in a contest to win the chance to fly to LA, ride a tank and smoke cigars with Schwarzenegger. If this isn’t a sweet enough deal already, Schwarzenegger will match the amount donated to the After-School All-Stars program.
